I am trying to get Ocamlgraph to work under Mac OSX and I am running into problems with the -pack flag to ocamlc et al. The problem is that -pack is not supported due to the lack of obj_copy on my OS. So I was wondering is there a standard way of hacking around this deficiency? Could I create the packed cmo manually in some way? I suspect that this will not work in all but the simplest of cases at the moment. On another front what is objcopy needed for in this context and could it be duplicated using alternative tools for mach-o object files? Thanks, -Eric
